Ancient vases from the collection of Sir Henry Englefield, Bart. : fifty-one plates, of which twelve are now first published

Moses, Henry, 1782?-1870 · 1848 · London : H.G. Bohn · 20 pictures

Ancient vases from the collection of Sir Henry Englefield, published in London in 1848 by H.G. Bohn and drawn by Henry Moses, a plate book of Greek pottery for collectors and students of classical art. The plates are engraved line drawings of vase surfaces, with black-figure scenes of figures, horses, chariots and ornamental borders rendered in crisp white-on-black and outline. A designer could take from them the strong silhouettes, compact friezes and meander and palmette borders of Greek vase decoration.
